从亚硝酸还原厌氧氨氧化转变为硫酸盐型厌氧氨氧化

在UASB反应器内,研究了由亚硝酸盐型厌氧氨氧化转变为硫酸盐型厌氧氨氧化的过程及其微生物群落变化.结果表明,历时177 d成功实现了硫酸盐型厌氧氨氧化.进水氨氮和硫酸盐浓度分别为130 mg·L-1和500 mg·L-1下,反应器对氨氮和硫酸盐的去除率分别达到58.9%和15.7%,对氨氮和硫酸盐的去除负荷为74.3 mg·(L·d)-1和77.5 mg·(L·d)-1,氮、硫损失摩尔比约为2,出水p H值低于进水.污泥中细菌从以球菌为主转变成以短杆菌为主,菌群中细菌由Candidatus brocadia为优势种转变为以Bacillus benzoevorans为优势种.说明完成这两种厌氧氨氧化的优势菌不同,两种厌氧氨氧化并非同一种菌参与完成的.     

Fe2+和Fe3+对厌氧氨氧化污泥活性的影响

通过接种厌氧氨氧化污泥研究了Fe离子浓度及价态变化对厌氧氨氧化污泥活性的影响.短期浓度影响结果表明,当进水铁离子浓度由0升高到5 mg·L-1时,厌氧氨氧化污泥活性因受刺激而逐渐增强;当进水铁离子浓度大于5 mg·L-1时,因厌氧氨氧化反应产碱,铁离子形成氢氧化物沉淀,生物活性未受到影响.不同价态铁离子浓度变化对厌氧氨氧化污泥活性的影响无明显区别.长期价态影响结果表明,经过71个周期培养,含Fe2+进水的厌氧氨氧化反应器R1脱氮效能(以氮计)由0.28 kg·(m3·d)-1升高到0.65 kg·(m3·d)-1,是含Fe3+进水反应器R2的1.28倍.因此Fe2+更适合厌氧氨氧化菌生长的需求.实验结果进一步表明,Fe3+易导致厌氧氨氧化反应器R2内氨氮过量转化,亚硝氮与氨氮转化比(1.17)明显低于含Fe2+进水的反应器R1内亚硝氮与氨氮转化比(1.24).     

一体式厌氧氨氧化工艺处理高氨氮污泥消化液的启动

利用新型固定生物膜一活性污泥反应器处理实际污泥消化液,通过接种短程硝化污泥和厌氧氨氧化生物膜填料,逐渐提高进水氨氮浓度并控制溶解氧浓度在0.11~0.42mg/L,系统在65d内实现了短程硝化-厌氧氨氧化反应的启动.反应器系统稳定运行阶段具有良好的污染物去除效果,进水COD和氨氮浓度为921和1120.8mg/L,COD、氨氮和总氮去除率分别为66.8%,99.0%和94.4%,总氮去除负荷为0.27kgN/(m3·d).试验表明采取逐步提高进水中消化液比例的策略,有利于一体式厌氧氨氧化工艺的快速启动.进一步分析发现系统同时存在厌氧氨氧化和反硝化的脱氮途径,对总氮去除的贡献率分别为67.4%~91.1%和8.9%~32.6%.     

铜、锌离子对厌氧氨氧化污泥脱氮效能的影响

通过接种厌氧氨氧化污泥,研究了Cu2+、Zn2+浓度变化对厌氧氨氧化污泥脱氮效能长短期的影响.短期实验结果表明,铜、锌离子对厌氧氨氧化污泥的脱氮效能影响主要分为3个阶段.刺激阶段,Cu2+浓度0~1mg/L和Zn2+浓度0~4mg/L时,随着进水金属离子浓度的增加,微生物活性受到刺激,氮去除速率迅速增加;稳定阶段,Cu2+浓度1~8mg/L时,氮去除速率处于稳定状态.抑制阶段,Cu2+浓度大于8mg/L和Zn2+大于4mg/L时,随着进水金属离子浓度的增加,氮去除速率逐步下降.Cu2+、Zn2+对厌氧氨氧化污泥脱氮效能长期影响表明,当进水Cu2+浓度达到4mg/L和Zn2+达到8mg/L时厌氧氨氧化污泥的活性将受到抑制.降低进水重金属浓度后,厌氧氨氧化污泥活性可以得到恢复.厌氧氨氧化菌对Cu2+的敏感性强于Zn2+.

全程自养脱氮颗粒污泥培养及动力学研究

SBR反应器接种厌氧颗粒污泥,经过3个阶段培养,成功培养出全程自养脱氮颗粒污泥,并对颗粒污泥系统进行动力学研究.建立了描述全程自养脱氮的动力学模型.由于溶解氧(DO)在颗粒污泥内呈梯度分布,模型引入DO校正系数.通过模型研究反硝化作用、亚硝酸盐和DO对过程的影响,模拟结果与实测结果相一致.结果说明,异养反硝化菌的存在,在一定程度上影响厌氧氨氧化(ANAMMOX)过程,但是随着启动的进行,反硝化的影响逐渐降低.初始亚硝酸盐浓度为20~30 mg/L时,厌氧氨氧化开始受到抑制,总氮去除率开始降低.DO浓度的过高或过低都会导致全程自养脱氮效果受限制.根据进水氨氮浓度调整DO浓度,可使总氮去除效率达到较佳水平.进水氨氮浓度为80 mg/L时,最佳DO为0.3~0.6 mg/L.

序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)处理高氨氮渗滤液的脱氮机理研究

采用自主设计的SBBR反应器处理氨氮浓度含量较高的垃圾填埋场渗滤液并对其脱氮机理进行分析.在保持(32±0.4)℃的环境温度下,经过58 d的驯化和33 d的稳定,SBBR反应器的脱氮效率最高达到95%.实验结果表明,高频间歇式曝气方式在抑制了硝酸细菌的活性的同时也消除了亚硝酸盐浓度和pH大幅波动对亚硝酸细菌和厌氧氨氧化细菌活性的影响;在曝气阶段,溶解氧浓度被控制在1.2～1.4 mg·L-1,亚硝酸细菌成为主体细菌,亚硝酸盐积累;在缺氧阶段,随着溶解氧浓度迅速降低,厌氧氨氧化细菌成为优势菌种,曝气阶段积累的亚硝酸盐与氨氮同时被去除.     

厌氧氨氧化污泥中氨氧化的潜在电子受体

通过接种亚硝酸盐型厌氧氨氧化污泥,投加潜在电子受体(亚硝酸盐、Fe~(3+)和硫酸盐)研究了厌氧条件下氨氮氧化的潜在电子受体.结果表明,亚硝酸盐是厌氧氨氧化最适合的电子受体,能够与氨氮在短暂的时间内完全反应;在亚硝酸盐缺乏的情况下,厌氧氨氧化污泥中微生物利用自身细胞有机物将产物硝酸盐转化为亚硝酸盐参与氨氮转化;Fe~(3+)与硫酸盐在氨氮氧化后期出现转化,但是直接还是间接参与还需进一步研究.厌氧氨氧化污泥对氨氮产生过量氧化之前必须以亚硝酸盐为电子受体进行微生物活性激活,并且好氧氨氧化菌和亚硝化菌出现增长,推测微生物产生了H_2O_2.该现象并不可长久持续.虽然其氧化速率较慢,但是过量氧化现象较为明显.因此厌氧氨氧化污泥中肯定存在氨氮过量氧化的现象.厌氧氨氧化污泥对电子的利用顺序是亚硝酸盐、硝酸盐、Fe~(3+)和硫酸盐.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.
